Mixes Of A Lost World

I've been a fan of The Cure since 1987, and I've enjoyed pretty much everything Robert Smith has ever released. I didn't care much for 4:13 Dream though, and I'm still not crazy about the original arrangements and mix for Songs of a Lost World. To my ears, it sounded too much like a demo, and the live versions I've heard on YouTube were much better. This remix album adds some much needed color to the mix! Each song now sounds more individual, lending greater emotional resonance. The mix you prefer will vary based on your taste, but all of the songs have three to choose from. Wow! I'm really digging this much more than I expected, and I feel like the album has been saved from becoming something I listened to only once. I plan to play these tracks until I can arrange them into my favorite version of the album, and then I'm going to save that as my own personal version. Thank you, Robert Smith, for giving me a choice in an era when democracy is imperiled!

This is a wonderful bonus release from the band. I trust Robert Smith and his hand picked selections. Cure approved and lovely to add to my collection. All fans should love this!! I’m dancing in my kitchen!!! After a few listenings. I am loving the Cosmodelic electric Eden remix of And nothing is forever. Love the samples that are mixed in.

So Songs of a Lost World is absolute Perfection! But These remixes make them feel Danceable , it’s a Different Vibe a new journey with the same lyrics but different beats. It’s fun and a great for cruising in your car. Sure some of the remixes aren’t great but i still love Mixes Of a Lost World. Brilliant and Fun!

...this is the morose music for you. Be sad.

Loved mix up too. I didn’t enjoy this at all. Songs of a lost world didn’t need to be touched.

Great remixes. Long live the cure

Depending on which way you roll on picking out new tunes from leftfieldish acidy break beats at snail pace or slower hip-hop rythms & Sound scapes to stright up late night deep house into the experimental and less obvious there might be something here for you to play out. I am really digging the Shanti Celeste Remix. 16B puts in more late night early AM tunage. I'll admit not a bunch of cracking Radio1 Summer time hits. But enough to play somthing that stands out from the rest of the never ending amount of dJS falling from the sky. Some of these might need a few plays to get into the moodyness and originality of these remixes. Roberts voice sounds amazing still in 2025. Maybe they have a few more hidden gems? or Maybe some will come later? I really dig all the different productions and hard work put in to make this happen!

“More doom and gloom”
